Cobgoblin is amonster which appears in the episodeA Recipe for Disaster fromKirby: Right Back at Ya!. It resembles a giant corn-on-the-cob with arms, feet, and eyes, and attacks by shooting its corn kernels at its opponents.Kirby defeats it easily using theCookCopy Ability.

Its English name is a pun on "hobgoblin" and "cob", as in "corn cob".

Characteristics and powers[edit]

Cobgoblin is essentially a giant anthropomorphized corn-on-the-cob. It stands upright on two large black feet which looks similar to Kirby's. It possesses two arms with white gloves on its hands. Its eyes are located in the middle of the cob and are black and bean-shaped. Atop the cob is a brush of green leaves which resemble hair, but can also extend to grab things.

Cobgoblin can attack using its hands, but its main ability is to shoot corn kernels from its body which pop violently shortly after being launched. To inflict maximum pain on its target, Cobgoblin will grab its opponent and force their mouth open, then shoot a rapid volley of exploding corn kernels into the victim's mouth. Despite this rather painful attack, Cobgoblin is not particularly strong, and is easily defeated by stripping its corn kernels from its body and roasting them.
